We are delighted and very excited to announce that we will be attending the Commercial Vehicle Show (CV Show) 25th – 27th April 2017 and would love for you to come along and say hello!

The CV Show is the largest, most-attended logistics and road transport event held in the UK every year, providing commercial vehicle operators with a bigger choice than any other same-sector exhibition.

The Commercial Vehicle Show attracts nearly 20,000 business visitors at the NEC in Birmingham, and is an excellent opportunity for any fleet manager, senior manager or engineer to source vehicle equipment.

With everything from trucks, vans and many types of trailers, to handling equipment, tyres, insurers, training providers, fuels, telemetry and lubricant suppliers – the CV show has it all!

We can’t wait to bring our vast range of vehicle equipment to the show and help anyone who needs expert guidance for their fleet requirements in person!

Meet PMH at the Commercial Vehicle Show 2017 @ Stand No: 4J120

Feel free to call us with any vehicle equipment requirements that you may have on 01952 850416 or email us on sales@pmhvehicle.co.uk!

In July last year, a van exploded in the centre of Leeds – causing injuries to the driver as well as disrupting traffic.

This outcome was, in fact, a very good one – the explosion, which was caused by an acetylene gas cylinder, could have been a lot worse.

Managing director of the Moorhead Group which owns the van, said;

“We’re very relieved that the driver has escaped. He has superficial burns to his hands and the back of his head.”

There was only one person in the van, and the vehicle was carrying gas-filled cylinders – the driver, and any pedestrians that may have been around him at the time, were very lucky.

Van gas explosion

This video was captured by VPS at the Health and Safety Laboratory, Buxton and shows just how devastating the effects of a van gas explosion can be – click below to watch:

Research was undertaken about ventilation in the rear of enclosed vans and how acetylene gas can build up; as you can see, taking steps to minimise such a problem are crucial to any van owner, company director or fleet manager where acetylene gas is being transported.

ADR, Acetylene and small scale carriage of industrial gases

LPG, Acetylene, and other gases are often carried by tradesmen such as motor vehicle repair technicians and welders – health and safety recommendations can be found here. It is certain that ventilation is important when carrying any such gases.

Carriage of dangerous goods

Carrying any goods by road or rail can involve the risk of traffic accidents but when the goods are dangerous, there is the added risk of incidents like spillage, that could result in fire, explosion, chemical burns and environmental damage.

There is now, thankfully, a lot more awareness and legislation about ensuring that vans are properly ventilated when carrying dangerous gases – our vent meets the new requirements and is small enough to fit to small vans. The vent bonds directly to the floor of the vehicle after cutting a small 73mm diameter hole.
